1//! FP8-ACT PREFILL (MEMRA_PP_FP8=1): cuBLASLt FP8-E4M3 TN GEMM for the F8-E4M3-origin projections.
2//!
3//! Probe verdict 2026-07-08 (probe/fp8_lt_prefill.cu, JSONL row in research/tune-data): cuBLASLt
4//! FP8 GEMM runs 620-795 TF at the 27B prefill shapes vs 47-72 TF for the qmatvec_gemm_q8_0 class
5//! those weights ride today (46.5% of pp GPU time) — projected ~1.85x pp from the F8-native
6//! layers alone. The weight side is EXACT: the checkpoint's raw e4m3 bytes + per-tensor f32
7//! weight_scale are stashed at load next to the Q8_0 re-encode (`GpuTensor::Quant { fp8 }`,
8//! following the `cutlass` optional-operand precedent). The only new rounding vs today is the
9//! ACTIVATION: f32 -> e4m3 with ONE per-batch scalar scale (amax/448) instead of q8_1's per-32
10//! int8 — finer mantissa lost, coarser scale granularity; the run-gen argmax gate arbitrates.
11//!
12//! Dispatch: `matmul`/`matmul_pre` m>=16 arms ONLY (prefill). Decode (m<16) keeps the Q8_0
13//! dp4a/MMVQ chain bit-for-bit — the spec-exactness law is untouched, and the m=K+1 verify tier
14//! (m<=9) never reaches this path.
15//!
16//! All device work (amax reduce, scale finalize, e4m3 quantize, cublasLtMatmul) runs on the one
17//! `gpu.stream` inside a single C-ABI call (cu/fp8_prefill.cu) — no host sync anywhere: the act
18//! scale is folded with weight_scale into a device scalar fed to the GEMM's B_SCALE_POINTER
19//! (per-token OUTER_VEC B-scales are NOT supported on sm_120 — probed; scalar scales verified
20//! exact there).

54/// F8-E4M3-origin safetensors projections load as RAW e4m3 (QT_F8_E4M3) instead of the Q8_0

56/// re-encode was a lossy extra hop) via qmatvec_e4m3_mmvq; prefill (m>=16) rides the cuBLASLt FP8
57/// GEMM on the SAME resident bytes — one weight copy total (frees the ~GBs the MEMRA_PP_FP8 stash
58/// duplicated, no budget cap needed). Superset relationship: with this on, MEMRA_PP_FP8 and its

62/// DEFAULT ON since lane/fp8-decode-v1 (2026-08-05); `MEMRA_ST_E4M3=0` is the rollback seam back to

68///
69/// SCOPE — the flip only reaches the per-tensor scalar-scale class. `find_fp8_native` returns
70/// `blk: Some(grid)` for the block-128 class and `None` for per-row, and the resident arm in
71/// model.rs additionally requires `blk.is_none()`, so both of those classes still take the Q8_0

219///
220/// This is the third and only exact-AND-fast option from P1-VERDICT.md. cuBLASLt cannot take the

224///
225/// STAYS DEFAULT OFF for the stash source, and the reason is the v2 verdict, not inertia: against a
226/// floor whose Q8_0 slab is ALREADY RESIDENT the tile is 0.85-1.09x GEMM-only, so paying a full
227/// duplicate weight copy to reach it is not a win (`lane/fp8-mmq-v2` LANE-VERDICT.jsonl). This

243/// WHY THE SAME TILE DEFAULTS DIFFERENTLY BY SOURCE — the denominator differs, so the sign does.
244/// With a stash the floor already has its Q8_0 slab resident and the comparison is tile vs tile
245/// (v2: 0.85-1.09x, i.e. not worth a duplicate copy). On the native-resident class the floor must

247/// 14.19 GB of extra weight traffic — so the tile only has to not be 27.9 ms worse than a kernel it
248/// trails by at most ~15% on a subset of shapes. Measured 3-arm interleaved on the 27B block-128
249/// checkpoint (research/fp8blk-20260805/, N=3, one lock hold, one md5-pinned binary):
250/// slab 1540.5 / dequant-per-call 1449.1 / **this tile 1553.3** tok/s, min(C) 1552.4 > max(A) 1541.1
251/// (non-overlapping) = +0.83% pp512 AHEAD of the Q8_0 floor instead of -5.8% behind it.
252///
253/// EXACTNESS, the condition the flip was deferred on (6b741068: "the default flip waits on this
254/// arm's own exactness cells ... rather than inheriting the dequant arm's"). Branch-(b): per-block
255/// f8f6f4 MMA is not the Q8_0 re-encode's arithmetic, so bit-identity is the wrong bar. Measured on
256/// `prime_cache` — the class that actually dispatches this kernel — with a dispatch ledger on every
257/// arm (624 = 208 projections x 3 passes, full coverage) and an A==B bit-identical control proving
258/// the instrument can see zero where zero is: argmax UNCHANGED and the top-10 order identical to the
259/// floor's, rms_rel 2.5e-2 on an rms-2.7155 logit vector, and teacher-forced NLL on the prompt's own
260/// continuation LOWER than the floor's (2.764722 vs 2.787267) on a tape neither arm produced.
261/// `MEMRA_ST_E4M3=0` also disables this route, by removing the native operand

340        //  (1) the `fp8` STASH — a SECOND e4m3 copy uploaded alongside a resident Q8_0 slab under
341        //      `MEMRA_PP_FP8` / `MEMRA_PP_FP8_BUDGET_MB`. This is what the v1/v2 MMQ lanes measured,

343        //      is already resident the tile is 0.85-1.09x, which does not pay for a duplicate copy.
344        //
345        //  (2) the `blk` RESIDENCY field on a `QT_F8_E4M3_BLK` tensor (lane/fp8-blk128-decode) —
346        //      the checkpoint-native single copy, no slab and no stash. Same bytes, same grid, same
347        //      layout contract, so the kernel cannot tell them apart; only the owner differs. This
348        //      source is DEFAULT ON (`fp8_blk_mmq_native_enabled`), because its floor must build the
349        //      Q8_0 slab every call (27.9 ms/pass) and the tile measured +0.83% pp512 ahead of it
350        //      with non-overlapping distributions.
351        //
352        // The gate is therefore checked PER SOURCE, after the operand is known — not once up front.
353        // Checking it before the match would make the native flip also flip the stash, and
354        // `fp8_mmq_enabled` is what admits that stash at LOAD time (model.rs), so a shared gate
355        // would silently start duplicating every Q8_0 tensor with an fp8 sibling.
356        //
357        // Why (1) first: when a stash exists the tensor is ALSO a Q8_0 slab, and the stash is the
358        // operand that arm's budget accounting owns. A `QT_F8_E4M3_BLK` tensor never has a stash
